How to Protect Gaming Accounts from Hacks
Gaming accounts are prime targets for hackers. Your Steam library, rare skins, and years of progress can be stolen in minutes. Follow this complete guide to lock down your accounts and keep hackers out.
5 Steps to Secure Your Gaming Accounts
Enable Two-Factor Authentication
2FA is your first line of defense. Enable Steam Guard, Discord 2FA, and authenticator apps on all platforms. Even if your password leaks, hackers can't get in.
Use Unique, Strong Passwords
Never reuse passwords across accounts. Use a password manager to create and store unique 16+ character passwords for each gaming platform.
Monitor for Data Breaches
Your credentials might already be leaked. Use GalaxyWarden to continuously monitor 700+ breach databases and get instant alerts when you're exposed.
Secure Your Email
Your email is the master key to all accounts. Enable 2FA, use a strong password, and consider a dedicated email for gaming only.
Review Connected Apps & Sessions
Revoke access to suspicious third-party apps. Check your Steam API key, Discord authorized apps, and active sessions regularly.
Avoid Phishing & Scams
Never click suspicious links claiming free games or Nitro. Verify URLs before logging in. If it seems too good to be true, it's a scam.
Check If You're Already at Risk
See if your gaming credentials have been exposed in any data breaches.
